<h2>Installation</h2>
<p>Pattern is written for Python 2.5+ (also supports Python 3.6+). The module has no external dependencies, except <span class="inline_code">LSA</span> in the pattern.vector module, which requires <a href="http://numpy.scipy.org/" target="_blank">NumPy</a> (installed by default on Mac OS X).&nbsp;</p>
<p>To install Pattern so that the module is available in all Python scripts, from the command line do:</p>
<div class="install">
<pre class="gutter:false; light:true;">&gt; cd pattern-3.6
&gt; python setup.py install&nbsp;</pre></div>
<p>If you have pip, you can automatically download and install from the PyPi repository:</p>
<div class="install">
<pre class="gutter:false; light:true;">&gt; pip install pattern</pre></div>
<p>If none of the above works, you can make Python aware of the module in three ways:</p>
<ul>
<li>Put the <span class="inline_code">pattern</span>&nbsp;subfolder in the .zip archive in the same folder as your script.</li>
<li>Put the <span class="inline_code">pattern</span>&nbsp;subfolder in the standard location for modules so it is available to all scripts:<br /><span class="inline_code">c:\python27\Lib\site-packages\</span>&nbsp;(Windows),<br /><span class="inline_code"> /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/</span>&nbsp;(Mac), <br /><span class="inline_code">/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/</span>&nbsp;(Unix).<span style="font-family: Courier, monospace; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><br /></span></span></li>
<li>Add the location of the module to&nbsp;<span class="inline_code">sys.path</span>&nbsp;in your Python script, before importing it:</li>
</ul>
<div class="example">
<pre class="brush:python; gutter:false; light:true;">&gt;&gt;&gt; import sys; sys.path.append('/users/tom/desktop/pattern')
&gt;&gt;&gt; from pattern.web import Twitter </pre></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<hr />
<h2>Quick overview</h2>
<h3>pattern.web</h3>
<p>The&nbsp;<a href="pattern-web.html">pattern.web</a>&nbsp;module is a web toolkit that contains API's (Google, Gmail, Bing, Twitter, Facebook, Wikipedia, Wiktionary, DBPedia, Flickr, ...), a robust HTML DOM parser and a web crawler.</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="brush:python; gutter:false; light:true;">&gt;&gt;&gt; from pattern.web import Twitter, plaintext
&gt;&gt;&gt;
&gt;&gt;&gt; twitter = Twitter(language='en') 
&gt;&gt;&gt; for tweet in twitter.search('"more important than"', cached=False):
&gt;&gt;&gt;    print plaintext(tweet.text)

'The mobile web is more important than mobile apps.'
'Start slowly, direction is more important than speed.'
'Imagination is more important than knowledge. - Albert Einstein'
... </pre></div>
<h3>pattern.en</h3>
<p>The&nbsp;<a href="pattern-en.html">pattern.en</a>&nbsp;module is a natural language processing (NLP) toolkit for English. Because language is ambiguous (e.g., <em>I can</em>&nbsp;↔ <em>a can</em>) it uses statistical approaches + regular expressions. This means that it is fast, quite accurate and occasionally incorrect. It has a part-of-speech tagger that identifies word types (e.g., noun, verb, adjective), word inflection (conjugation, singularization) and a WordNet API.</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="brush:python; gutter:false; light:true;">&gt;&gt;&gt; from pattern.en import parse
&gt;&gt;&gt;  
&gt;&gt;&gt; s = 'The mobile web is more important than mobile apps.'
&gt;&gt;&gt; s = parse(s, relations=True, lemmata=True)
&gt;&gt;&gt; print s

'The/DT/B-NP/O/NP-SBJ-1/the mobile/JJ/I-NP/O/NP-SBJ-1/mobile' ...

<p>The text has been annotated with word types,&nbsp;for example nouns (<span class="postag">NN</span>), verbs(<span class="postag">VB</span>),&nbsp;adjectives (<span class="postag">JJ</span>) and determiners (<span class="postag">DT</span>), word types (e.g.,&nbsp;sentence subject&nbsp;<span class="postag">SBJ</span>) and prepositional noun phrases (<span class="postag">PNP</span>). To iterate over the parts in the tagged text we can construct a <em>parse tree</em>.</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="brush:python; gutter:false; light:true;">&gt;&gt;&gt; from pattern.en import parsetree
&gt;&gt;&gt;  
&gt;&gt;&gt; s = 'The mobile web is more important than mobile apps.'

<p>Parsers for Spanish, French, Italian, German and Dutch are also available: <br /><a href="pattern-es.html">pattern.es</a>&nbsp;| <a href="pattern-fr.html">pattern.fr</a> | <a href="pattern-it.html">pattern.it</a> |&nbsp;<a href="pattern-de.html">pattern.de</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="pattern-nl.html">pattern.nl</a></p>
<h3>pattern.search</h3>
<p>The&nbsp;<a href="pattern-search.html">pattern.search</a>&nbsp;module contains a search algorithm to retrieve sequences of words (called <em>n-grams</em>) from tagged text.</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="brush:python; gutter:false; light:true;">&gt;&gt;&gt; from pattern.en import parsetree
&gt;&gt;&gt; from pattern.search import search
&gt;&gt;&gt;  
&gt;&gt;&gt; s = 'The mobile web is more important than mobile apps.'
&gt;&gt;&gt; s = parsetree(s, relations=True, lemmata=True)
&gt;&gt;&gt;
&gt;&gt;&gt; for match in search('NP be RB?+ important than NP', s):
&gt;&gt;&gt;     print match.constituents()[-1], '=&gt;', \
&gt;&gt;&gt;           match.constituents()[0]

Chunk('mobile apps/NP') =&gt; Chunk('The mobile web/NP-SBJ-1')
</pre></div>
<p>The search pattern&nbsp;<span class="inline_code">NP</span> <span class="inline_code">be</span> <span class="inline_code">RB?+</span> <span class="inline_code">important</span> <span class="inline_code">than</span> <span class="inline_code">NP</span> means any noun phrase (<span class="postag">NP</span>) followed by the verb <em>to be</em>, followed by zero or more adverbs (<span class="postag">RB</span>, e.g.,&nbsp;<em>much</em>, <em>more</em>), followed by the words <em>important than</em>, followed by any noun phrase. It will also match "<em>The mobile web <span style="text-decoration: underline;">will</span> <span style="text-decoration: underline;">be</span> <span style="text-decoration: underline;">much</span> <span style="text-decoration: underline;">less</span> important than mobile apps</em>" and other grammatical variations.</p>
<h3>pattern.vector</h3>
<p>The&nbsp;<a href="pattern-vector.html">pattern.vector</a>&nbsp;module is a toolkit for machine learning, based on a vector space model&nbsp;of bag-of-words documents with weighted features (e.g., tf-idf) and distance metrics (e.g., cosine similarity, infogain).&nbsp;Models can be used for clustering (<em>k</em>-means, hierarchical), classification (Naive Bayes, Perceptron,&nbsp;<em>k-</em>NN, SVM) and latent semantic analysis (LSA).</p>
<div>
<div class="example">
<pre class="brush: python;gutter: false; fontsize: 100; first-line: 1; ">&gt;&gt;&gt; from pattern.web    import Twitter
&gt;&gt;&gt; from pattern.en     import tag
&gt;&gt;&gt; from pattern.vector import KNN, count
&gt;&gt;&gt; 
&gt;&gt;&gt; twitter, knn = Twitter(), KNN()
&gt;&gt;&gt; 
&gt;&gt;&gt; for i in range(1, 10):
&gt;&gt;&gt;     for tweet in twitter.search('#win OR #fail', start=i, count=100):
&gt;&gt;&gt;         s = tweet.text.lower()
&gt;&gt;&gt;         p = '#win' in s and 'WIN' or 'FAIL'
&gt;&gt;&gt;         v = tag(s)
&gt;&gt;&gt;         v = [word for word, pos in v if pos == 'JJ'] # JJ = adjective
&gt;&gt;&gt;         v = count(v) 
&gt;&gt;&gt;         if v:
&gt;&gt;&gt;             knn.train(v, type=p)
&gt;&gt;&gt; 
&gt;&gt;&gt; print knn.classify('sweet potato burger')
&gt;&gt;&gt; print knn.classify('stupid autocorrect')

'WIN'
'FAIL'   </pre></div>
</div>
<p>This example trains a classifier on adjectives mined from Twitter. First, tweets with hashtag #win or #fail are mined. For example: <em>"$20 tip off a <span style="text-decoration: underline;">sweet</span> <span style="text-decoration: underline;">little</span> <span style="text-decoration: underline;">old</span> lady today #win"</em>. The word part-of-speech tags are parsed, keeping only adjectives. Each tweet is transformed to a vector, a dictionary of adjective → count items, labeled <span class="inline_code">WIN</span> or <span class="inline_code">FAIL</span>. The classifier uses the vectors to learn which other, unknown tweets look more like&nbsp;<span class="inline_code">WIN</span>&nbsp;(e.g., <em>sweet potato burger</em>) or more like <span class="inline_code">FAIL</span> (e.g., <em>stupid autocorrect</em>).</p>
<h3>pattern.graph</h3>
<p>The&nbsp;<a href="pattern-graph.html">pattern.graph</a>&nbsp;module provides a graph data structure that represents relations between nodes (e.g., terms, concepts). Graphs can be exported as HTML <span class="inline_code">&lt;canvas&gt;</span> animations (<span class="link-maintenance"><a href="http://www.clips.ua.ac.be/media/pattern-graph" target="_blank">demo</a></span>). In the example below, more <em>central</em> nodes (= more incoming traffic) are colored in blue.</p>
<p><img class="border" src="../g/pattern_graph5.jpg" alt="" width="610" height="198" /></p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="brush:python; gutter:false; light:true;">&gt;&gt;&gt; from pattern.web    import Bing, plaintext

&gt;&gt;&gt;         s = plaintext(s)
&gt;&gt;&gt;         s = parsetree(s)
&gt;&gt;&gt;         p = '{NP} (VP) more important than {NP}' 
&gt;&gt;&gt;         for m in search(p, s):
&gt;&gt;&gt;             x = m.group(1).string # NP left

&gt;&gt;&gt;  
&gt;&gt;&gt; g = g.split()[0] # Largest subgraph.
&gt;&gt;&gt;  
&gt;&gt;&gt; for n in g.sorted()[:40]: # Sort by Node.weight.
&gt;&gt;&gt;     n.fill = (0, 0.5, 1, 0.75 * n.weight)
&gt;&gt;&gt;  
&gt;&gt;&gt; g.export('test', directed=True, weighted=0.6) </pre></div>
<p>Some relations (= edges) could use some extra post-processing, e.g., in <em>nothing is more important than life</em>, <em>nothing</em> is <span style="text-decoration: underline;">not</span> more important than <em>life</em>.</p>
